MEANS FOR REPAIRING LEAKS IN METAL UTENSILS.

Application filed April 9, 1920. Serial No. 372,506.

To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that l, GEORGE HENRY KING,

a subject of the Kin of Great Britain and lreland, residing at liondon,England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means forRepairing Leaks in Metal Utensils; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same.

lhis invention has reference to an improved means for repairing leakagesin metal utensils and the like.

According to this invention a disk or cap tilled with solder is placedon one or each side of the leaky part of the utensil and fixed inposition by the application of a hot iron. Referring to the accompanyingdrawmgzl. is a central vertical section of a saucer-shaped cap, bentsymmetrically about its center.

l igs. and 3 are central vertical sections of saucer-shaped caps filledwith solder and bent symmetrically about their centers.

Fig. i: is a central vertical section of an inside and outside cup beingfixed in position. 30 and 6 are central vertical sections of caps filledwith solder and bent symmetrically about straight lines passing throughtheir centers.

Fig. 7 is a perspective View of a metal utensil showing three caps ofvarious forms fixed in position.

Referring to Fig. l a thin metal disk at is pressed or fashioned by anysuitable means into a saucer-shaped cap, thus enabling said cap to befilled with solder or suitable alloy. cap is filled with solder b whichhas a circular projection 6 A similar rap (3 is filled with solder c' asshown at Fig. 3.

One or both of the caps b and c are used for repairing holes in flat andcurved parts of utensils as shown in Figs. & and 7 respectively. The capat is similar to cap Z), which, after having been filled with solder andcooled, is bent symmetrically about a straight line passing through itscenter at The two wings d and 03 thus formed are bent at approximately90 with the solder (Z and projection (Z facing inwardly.

The cap 6 is similar to the cap 0, except that it is bent symmetricallyabout a line passing through its center at g. The two wings e and 6 thusformed being bent at an angle of approximately 90, the solder facingoutwardly.

deferring to the caps b and 0 which are for repairing leakages throughfiat and curved metal parts, such as the base and sides of'a kettle,saucepan, or similar utensil, lI preferably first temporarily fix a cap6 on the outside of the part j with its projection of solder b placedinside the leakage it with a strip of gummed paper 2' or by any othersuitable means. I then turn the utensil so that it is standing uprighton a table or bench, the gummed paper having held the cap in positionwhilst being turned.

l next place the cap a on the inside of the utensil coinciding with thecap Z) as shown in Fig. i.

For finally fixing the caps Z) and c, I take a soldering iron or anyother similar shaped bar of metal which has been heated suiticiently,applying it with a firm pressure on the inside disk as shown, or ifnecessary the inner cap may betemporarily fixed in position and the hotiron 70 applied to the outer surface of the outer cap.

The caps d and e are applied in the same manner as the caps b and c,hereinbefore described for repairing leakages at the jointed or bottomrim of curved and flat parts of a utensil, as shown in Fig. 7.

lVhat I claim and desire to secure by Let ters Patent of the UnitedStates of America is l. Devices for repairing leakages in metal utensilscomprising a pair of dished metal caps each filled with solder andadapted to be applied to opposite sides of a utensil, so as to cover aleakage therein, each of said caps being bent upon itself along a linepass-- ing through its center.

2. Devices for repairing leakages in metal utensils, comprising a pairof dished metal caps adapted to be applied to opposite sides of a metalutensil, so as to cover the leakage therein, each of said caps beingfilled with solder, and at least one of said caps having a projectionthereon adapted to enter the leakage in the utensil.

3. Devices for repairing leakages in metal utensils, comprising a pairof dished metal caps filled with solder. each of said caps being bentupon itself along :1 line passing through its center, and at least oneof said 10 caps having a projection thereon adapted to enter thelealtage in the utensil.

In Witness whereof I allix m I si nature.

GEORGE HENR fine.
